Hey hey!

Reposting from what I wrote earlier:
I would love to DESTROY 10 lbs.!! (16lbs. for my goal) I'm definitely in!

29 yo
5'2
CW: 136 lbs.
May GW: 132 lbs
Ultimate GW: 120 lbs
Calories: anywhere from 1280-1500 daily, I like to keep my metabolism guessing!
Exercise 3-5 days per week

Let's do this thing!!

5' 3" here (OK, slightly under, but who's counting) and currently 136 lbs. looking to get somewhere around 122 lbs. I eat mid 1400 Cals every day, walk 30min a day and lift heavy once a week. My goal Cals are set to 1600, but I try to leave myself some extra room for underestimating how much I'm eating for restaurant meals. Besides, the TDEE - 20% for me comes out to 1520 Cals, so I think I 'm good, Cal-wise.

Hi, I'm 42 and 5'6." Goal weight is 140, but I'll re-evaluate as I go along. Between 130 and 150 is the range that seems to be best for me.

I weighed 150 or just a little shy of that for several years and I seemed to be able to maintain that weight without trying at all. But, between quitting smoking and thyroid issues, I gained nearly 50 pounds in 13 months. Then, add a sedentary job into the mix and I quickly made it to over 200.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone. I think the encouragement will help all of us to lose those last few pounds.

Hello all!

I'm 5'3 @ 138lbs goal weight 130 or less, I was close to getting to that weight over the summer'12 without food tracking or exercise.

Food consumed---> pretty much I don't buy prepared or takeout, basically cook from starch...All (most) of time????.
Diet sample:
Breakfast---> egg white omelette with veggies, ie spinach, tomatoes cooked in extra virgin coconut oil, black tea with stevia
Snack/lunch---> kale blueberry banana coconu milk smoothie
Dinner--->roasted chicken breast, 3 bean parsely pomegranate/olive oil salad dressing
Snack---> apple, orange, green tea, dates, kefir
Exercise---> 5x a wk on treadmill 40 mins. Intervals, on most of exercise days I do two 40 mins.

Since I've started on MFP many of foods I used to eat have either eliminated or eat occasionally( like whole wheat bread, cheese)

It's encouraging to know that there are many others that are on same path and that it's ok to stall on weight loss, while still maintaining a deciplined diet and ritual exercise routine.

Best of luck to you all! ????

hiya,

i am 27, 153 lbs, and struggled so hard to get into the 140s. i really want to hit 140...and then 135. I do bootcamp every sunday, and then run once a week, and go to the gym 2 other times.

I try and eat healthy, I usually average 1600 cals, sometimes under, sometimes over. My weight goes from 151 (that has been my LOWEST in a year) and goes back to 154 quite easily. I know it doesn't seem like a huge diff,but I worked really really really hard to get down from 157. I saw the scale creeping up towards 160 and stopped myself. I couldn't let myself get out of control. What was next, 170? 180? I just said 'no', and that I guess I can be proud of if I am proud of anything when it comes to weight loss.

I know my body has the potention to get down to 140. I did it my first time on mfp a couple years ago, but I was literally netting 1200 cals....and I can't sustain that for long.

I am getting married in June, and going on vacation outside of Canada for the very first time in July...and I want to be damned hot in a bikini.

Here is to hoping. I hope to have AMAZING b+a pics for you guys by the end of June!

Hi guys! I was 152.4 pounds and now I am 134 pounds. 135 pounds was my goal, and now I would really like to see 128, but if I don't it is OK- I just want to keep myself motivated to maintain this lifestyle . I was 132 pounds last week, but I've been exercising a lot and may be retaining some water weight at the moment.

Hello everybody!

My stats:

5'3"
SW 201
CW 150 ish
GW 141 (to have a healthy BMI) but would love to be around 135.

I've been stuck around 150 for the last 2 months, after having lost the first 50 lbs in 7 months with a calorie goal of 1200.

Last month I changed my settings so that my calorie goal is now 1330 and started Couch to 5k.

I'm very frustrated with this plateau!

Hi guys! I'm Jennifer and I started at 153. I'm now between 129 - 132 and my goal is 120. I'm trying to shoot for 1600 cal a day but I don't workout. I've managed to lose with minimal workouts but I think the only way for me to push through the last 10 lbs is to be more active. I've wasted a lot of time waiting for others to go to the gym with me but I'm at the point now where I will just have to suck it up and get my own membership. I really have to be responsible for myself even if it means working out alone. It may not seem like a big deal but I find going to the gym ridiculously intimidating but that's a hurdle many have had to get over and now it's my turn.

I'm Jenny. I have been working at this (again) since the beginning of March. I'm 5'4". I have a fitbit which really motivates me to be active. I walk and do Zumba several times a week. I was eating 1500-1600 and I think it was too much. Now that I have decreased to around 1400, I have been having much more results. My fitbit tells me I average 1950 average burn.
I think I would be happy at 135lb, but I have set my goal to 130. I was 125lb when I got married 4 years ago.
I just want my clothes to fit again. Size 10's were getting tight, and that's not ok.

Hi, I have just joined this group for extra motivation to lose the last half stone!

SW: 210lbs
CW: 147lbs
GW: 140lbs

I am 5'6. I have gone from a UK size 20 (US 16) to a UK size 12 (US 8) and am now starting to fit into some UK size 10 (US 6) clothes. It would be nice to be a UK 10 all of the time.

My main forms of exercise are power walking, swimming and yoga.
